Others players joined the chat, [Eh, now that you mentioned this, he really does look familiar.] 

[But where have I seen him before?]

A heated discussion took place on Weibo. Some said they saw Wen Fan from Weibo, some said it was from other social media platforms. Some even said they saw him from a game.

Suddenly, someone pointed out, [Don’t you guys think that ‘Wei Lou’ also looked very familiar?]

[‘Wei Lou’?]

The players zoomed in the video to take a closer look at ‘Wei Lou’s’ face. Some netizens who didn’t play the game also joined in helping them look at the 3D image of the two player’s faces.

They then found their answer, [Are you guys blind? Isn’t that Lou Wei? It’s so easy to recognize him.]

The reason why there are not a lot of brainless players in ‘Heaven’s Dream’ compared other games is because ‘Heaven’s Dream’ required players to create user profile using their real identities. And if the player uses their identity cards to create their avatar, their appearance will looked similar to the picture on their identity card.

Moreover, they were not allowed to use other people’s faces as their avatar.

Therefore, ‘Wei Lou’ using Lou Wei’s face is a solid proof of ‘Wei Lou’s’ identity.

Besides, the coincidence of their names ‘Lou Wei-Wei Lou’ indicates that there is a connection between them.

The netizens went silent. They were once again deeply convinced that Lou Wei is indeed worthy to be the big boss of the gaming industry. He could excel in his own game and stay at the number one position on the leaderboard for three consecutive years. This requires a good sensitivity and understanding of the game.

The identity of the ‘anonymous’ player who everyone tries to crack became extremely obvious after they confirmed the fact that ‘Wei Lou’ is ‘Lou Wei’.

Especially netizens who do not play ‘Heaven’s Dream’ but were attracted by the hot search on ‘Heaven’s Dream’ who had watched the TV program of Lou Wei’s Compagnon interview, they were able to tell from a glance that the faces on the screen were no other than Lou Wei and his game designer ‘Wen Fan’.

A lot of players were deeply moved by the ‘history’ of Wen Fan and Lou Wei that was exposed in the TV program. Some players even screenshot the beta version of the Compagnon icon in Lou Wei’s phone which featured Wen Fan’s avatar as the app’s icon.

They made a quick comparison and confirmed that the ‘anonymous’ player was indeed Wen Fan.

The netizens who were discussing Wen Fan’s appearance and origins enthusiastically suddenly went silent.

It took a long while before someone commented on the post that revealed Wen Fan and Lou Wei’s identity in the game,

[So, so…does this mean that Boss Wen Fan has already regained consciousness?? They are playing games together?? Is that right?]

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Boss Wen Fan is awake!!]

[Dang! Congratulations! May they live a long and happy life together. Hurry up and get together! [cry.jpg]]

Netizens who have watched the TV interview before and have transformed themselves into Lou Wei’s, Wen Fan’s fans and some were even CP fans were especially excited that they started to broadcast the news that Wen Fan is already awake.

It is very hard to imagine how fast the news travel on the internet. The topic on #Feiyun Octopus# was pushed down by the new topic #Boss Wen Fan is awake#.

For a moment, regardless if it is fans of Compagnon, or netizens who just knew about Wen Fan through the video of an ‘anonymous’ player in a battle, or Heaven’s Dream player who were ‘educated’ by other netizens on the story of Wen Fan’s participation in Compagnon designing and became new fans of Wen Fans, they were all talking about this frantically.

Someone even set up a discussion thread, #Lou Wei x Wen Fan# and it was gaining popularity as a lot of fans were commenting on it.

Even common netizens who don’t usually pay attention to Weibo discussion threads were attracted by Wen Fan’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’s style- sad yet beautiful ‘love story’ and were dragged into the pool of Lou Wei x Wen Fan’s CP fans.

Even Liu Junhao, who had been madly busy with his daily work, received the news.

After he came back from lunch, his colleague smiled and patted his shoulder while saying, “Congratulations!”

Liu Junhao, “…What, what?” He didn’t have a girlfriend, he didn’t buy a house nor a car. What is there to be congratulated?

He then heard his colleague say, “Your buddy, Wen Fan is awake! You must have been so busy that you’ve forgotten to go to the hospital lately, right? How can you not know about this?”

“…” 

Liu Junhao, who just came back from the hospital yesterday, “Really?!”

His colleague was puzzled when he noticed Liu Junhao shocked by the news. He figured that perhaps Wen Fan just woke up not long ago and hadn’t got the chance to inform Liu Junhao about it. Without hesitation, he showed the video of Wen Fan in Heaven’s Dream today that he saved on his phone and the screenshot of Weibo netizens revealing Wen Fan’s and Lou Wei’s identity in the game to Liu Junhao.

Liu Junhao looked even more shocked and lost. His colleague patted his shoulder again, “Calm down. It must be that you haven’t gone to the hospital these days, so you didn’t know about it. Anyway, congratulations. Help me convey the message to your friend to ask him to take care of his health.”

A person like them who designed software or developed games would never become famous in their entire life. Those who were really famous were usually the CEO or directors of the game title who ‘showed their faces’ to the public.

Wen Fan and Lou Wei were really popular now, and for some reason, they were really proud of it. Now that they learned that Wen Fan had woken up, they were really happy for him.

Liu Junhao was still in a daze, “I just went to the hospital yesterday.”

His colleague was taken aback. The joyful look on his face turned to a look of admiration, “Your friend must be recovering really well. He just woke up today and he’s already playing game.”

Liu Junhao was still confused, “Well, maybe.”

As soon as he got off work, he quickly called Lou Wei.

When he met Lou Wei previously, they exchanged contact numbers and now, it just happened to come in handy.

Perhaps Lou Wei wasn’t busy at the time he called. Lou Wei answered Liu Junhao’s call almost immediately.

Lou Wei was playing game with Wen Fan. He noticed his phone ringing and checked the caller ID. He lowered his head and to Wen Fan, “It’s from Liu Junhao.”

Wen Fan was stunned. He stopped walking and paused his exploration of  ‘Heaven’s Dream’ map. “Quick, answer it.”
